If you ask me, there is no better way to add a little color (and texture) to your outfit than with beaded jewelry. The chunky Lizzie Fortunato necklace that I am wearing in the photo above is one of my favorites, but there are so many incredible options in stores right now. I’ve rounded up what I think are the very best, whether you are looking for something subtle or want to go full-on rainbow bright (this BaubleBar strand is an absolute gem, in that case!) This round-up is full of beautiful beads in an array of colors, but I also had to point out these gold beads: cool and unexpected!
Wear one solo, layer it with chains and/or a tennis necklace, or pile on two or three at a time. Beaded necklaces are impossible to mess up; they add an element of fun to whatever you pair them with. Carnelian, lapis, malachite, and more… so many beautiful gemstones!
